KitchenAid Heavy Duty 325 Watt Stand Mixer Review

I got my KitchenAid Stand Mixer from my grandparents, and I love using it so much more than my old hand mixer.  I like being able to turn it on and get other ingredients while it is still mixing. I didn't have much luck with the dough kneading attachment, but I was probably overloading the bowl.  I always use it to make cookies and quick breads.  I had a friend who came to my house just to use my KitchenAid mixer to make icing for a cake.  I was impressed at how easy it was for her to make her whipped icing with my mixer.  The icing had to be mixed for 10-15 minutes, and we were able to visit the whole time it was mixing!  The main reason I gave this mixer a four-star rating instead of five was because the bowl catches a little bit now.  I have had the mixer for five or more years, but I didn't expect the attachments to start rubbing the side of the bowl.  I can still use the mixer, but if I don't have many ingredients in the bottom it doesn't mix that well.
